The answer to your first question is yes. Those are both better. The "hip hop culture" is the single biggest failed "culture" in our country today. Single parent homes, the only way out is sports, etc. Its an absolute **** show.

EliteZags hit it - All flash and no substance. At least, that is what I'm gleaning. Poor analogy by Cessna. But, really, he is a small town writer covering football at a highly conservative school in Texas. Not really, shocking.

The "millenial" dogpile in this thread is pretty funny. Good job, Zoo. Never change.

And, personally, I prefer a punk rock football team. Of course, that means the team would just be strung out on drugs with a whole lot of dyed hair. I don't think that translates to a lot of Ws, but it would give some of the aforementioned dogpilers heart attacks which wouldn't be a bad thing.

With Rap Music and a Chopper, Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin Is a Cool Customer

COLLEGE STATION, Texas A visit to a Texas A&M football practice is musically akin to a trip to a swanky hip-hop club in downtown Houston or a hot spot on Miami's South Beach. The Aggies opened fall practice with the rapper Drake's dis of his fellow rapper Meek Mill, "Back to Back," as a prelude to several other tunes on the cutting edge of rap.

In the middle of the bobbing heads of more than 100 young men in their late teens and early 20s was Kevin Sumlin, who, at 51, just might be the coolest coach in college football. Just to be clear, Sumlin did not party with the rapper Rick Ross and the Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel during the weekend of the 2013 national championship game. But the fact that Sumlin had to debunk such a story speaks to his place within the hierarchy of college football coolness.

So rather than search for hidden racist subtext, maybe we can just agree Sumlin used Hip Hop music as one of his tools to be the most relatable and cool guy to recruits.

Stop being offended by EVERYTHING millennials........ you'll be much happier and enjoy life much more.

This. Good Lord.

For the ongoing criticisms of millenials, its clear that non-millenials can certainly be snowflakes too. Stop trying to make everything about being a offended millenial. You'll be much happier and enjoy life much more...

If anything, OP tries makes a bad joke --- the fact that some of y'all are jumping at him for being "offended" is demonstrating you own bias, like you are LOOKING for reasons to ***** about millenials (even in an instance where there is nothing to ***** about).

As to the OP's question, Cessna is trying to be cute in saying that the team was full of trend and flash (Hip Hop) with no grit.

That backwards reputation we have? That's where it comes from. You'd be amazed how often I have to clarify "Yes, I went to THAT Texas A&M".

What type of people do you hang around with?

Irrelevant.

Also strikingly tone deaf considering that the topic is minimizing the experiences of black aggies and here you are attempting to find some reason to minimize mine. Let me guess, if they don't think A&M is pure and blameless that they're Beto voters or whiny millennials?
